Abstract

Background

The concept of frailty becomes important for patients who undergo surgery in this recent aging society. The aim of this study is to investigate the frailty as a prognostic factor in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent hepatectomy.

Patients and Methods

A total of 92 patients over 75 years old who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled in this study. Frailty was defined as clinical frailty scale (CFS) ≥ 4. Patients were divided into two groups, i.e., frailty group (n = 21) and no-frailty group (n = 71), and clinicopathological features were compared between them.

Results

The frailty group showed significant higher PIVKA-II level and larger tumor diameter (p < 0.05). CRP level and modified Glasgow prognostic score were significantly higher in the frailty group (p < 0.05). The frailty group showed higher rate of postoperative complications of Clavien–Dindo III (p = 0.06) and longer postoperative stay (p = 0.08). Cancer-specific, overall, and disease-free survival rates were significantly worse in the frailty group (p < 0.05). Frailty was detected as an independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis of cancer-specific survival.

Conclusion

Frailty can estimate the prognosis of HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
